Bhishma P. Subedi, Ph.D. Executive Director i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Asia Network for Sustainable Agriculture and Bioresources (ANSAB) in partnership with Relief International (RI) and with financial assistance from European Union has been implementing One Health Asia Programme (OHAP) in Nepal for three years starting from March 2014. The project is premised on the One Health approach to improve health and wellbeing of the fragile population through the mitigation of risks and crises that originate at the interface between humans, animals, and their various environments. The project within three years will work on reducing zoonoses and alleviating their impact on fragile population in Chitwan, Rupandehi and Banke districts of Nepal by i) creating awareness for the behaviour change; ii) developing prevention and response capacity of communities, government agencies and academia; and iii) integrating surveillance of zoonoses within the government existing system and regulation. The baseline survey and Pre-KAP (Knowledge, Attitude and Practice) study was commissioned by ANSAB in the project districts to document the baseline information which will be used as benchmarks against changes and progress of achievements. Along with the detailed assessment of the institutions for curative and diagnostic services for the zoonotic diseases in the country in general and the three project districts in specific, the study has analysed the KAP status on livestock health and husbandry, zoonoses and their impact on public health in the three districts. The findings from this study can later be evaluated using verifiable indicators presented in the logical framework during the project implementation. Information presented in this report is pulled from secondary sources, focus group discussion and KAP/baseline survey conducted within the project districts from December 7, 2014 to January 7, 2015. The KAP survey involved 210 samples from the three districts with 70 samples from each district including 7 respondents from each of the project support committee (PSC). Major zoonotic diseases in Nepal In Nepal, situation of the zoonotic diseases has not been fully explored through the effective national surveillance system, and information available through researchers does not give full picture of prevalence and their hazardous impact. The Zoonoses Control Project (ZCP) of the Government of Nepal has listed Avian Influenza, Brucellosis, Leptospirosis, Hydatidosis, Cysticercosis & Toxoplasmosis as the six prioritised zoonoses in Nepal. Similarly, the Department of Livestock Services (DLS) has been reporting 11 such diseases to the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) from the information received form districts through passive surveillance as mentioned in the following table.

The curative service in Nepal has been practiced in Nepal since the country enacted the planned health system in 1957. Since then, the country has formulated National Health Policy and two long-term health plans in order to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the health care system and improve the management and organization of the public health sector in the country. The country has established curative system through different grade of hospitals based on the population ratio per unit and their requirement. These is provision of distribution of different health service centres to give equal coverage in all administrative units as in the following table. Table: Structure of health services in Nepal and population ratio per unit Health services No. Population ratio Remarks per unit Sub Health Post 3,199 1: 4,000 One in each VDC Health Post 611 1:29,000 One in 5 VDCs Primary Health Centre 205 1: 100,000 One in each election constituency District Hospital 75 1:100,000 One in each district Zonal Hospital 14 1: 1,300,000 One in each zone Regional Hospital 5 1:3,600,000 One in each region Central Hospital 9 Specialist service and education Source: Ministry of Health and Population, 2015 The basic primary health service provided from the sub-health posts covers general curative, promotive and preventive health services through immunization, family planning, maternity and child health, health education, sanitation, and treatment of malaria, leprosy and tuberculosis. Introduction of different grade of hospitals has supported improvement in curative treatment. Over the past decade, public health services have also been extended through the establishment of hospitals, colleges, health clinics, diagnostic centres and nursing homes from the private iii sector. These health services however have been mainly concentrated in urban areas, and their diagnostic service is limited to human diseases. The National Public Health Laboratory serves as the reference lab with provision of specialized tests for non-communicable diseases and public health related tests for communicable diseases. The laboratory is linked directly with 291 Government Health Laboratories (8 Central Hospitals based, 3 Regional, 2 Sub-regional, 12 Zonal, 68 districts, 198 Primary Health Centres (PHC)) and indirectly with more than 1,237 private sector laboratories. While these laboratories provide diagnosis of human health in the country, there is no separate laboratory for the diagnosis of zoonotic diseases at district, zonal and regional hospitals along with those established by private sector. Veterinary services. Veterinary service in Nepal began in Nepal with homeopathic system in 1939, mainly for the treatment of livestock raised in the palaces by the Rana ruling communities. With the outbreak of the Rinderpest disease in Kathmandu Valley in 1939, the need of veterinary service for the people to save their livestock was realized, leading to the adoption of
